It is. Just keep in mind that a lot of cars lose 45% of their value in the first 3 years. Also remember that we are in California, where there are a lot of used S2000's to choose from.

you'll always take big hits in the first couple of years... but think about this.

My ex-bf bought a 1999 Mercury Cougar in 2001 for about $14k. He tried to sell it in 2004 but nobody would buy it - even for $4500. He ended up trading it in to a dealership for $3400. This doesn't happen to S2000 owners. Aren't you glad you don't own a Mercury (aka Ford)?
agree, S2K is pretty desirable car, as long as I don't do anything stupid with it and keep it in good condition.
Only domestic car I might ever even consider is the current version of corvette.

Had mine up for sale a few months ago. Super clean 05 Berlina with 10k for 26.5 obo, and barely got any hits. I had one come through for 25 but changed my mind and could not let her go.
We shoulda talked. My first choice was Berlina but nothing was FS at the time I was looking to buy... I settled for Silverstone, but it was probably like my 3rd choice in color.. GPW would have been 2nd..

You still got a great deal! And good thing I changed my mind, I would probably be sick of the Euro world by now.

Insure the S as a leisure and your insurance rates should go down substantially. Good luck on your decision.
yeah but i still have to make monthly payments. i'm dishing out a little over $600/mnth for payments + insurance.

You are going to take a hit, don't sell.
